City Council
  I want to express my appreciation to the citizens of Valparaiso for giving me the opportunity to lead this great city. I promise to make decisions based upon the best interests of our citizens and institute polices that bring about long-term common sense solutions to our challenges. I was not elected to be a mere caretaker, the city deserves more. My goal is to boldly confront the issues facing our city and - with the help of our council, employees and citizens - find and implement the solutions to achieve success.

We enjoy a rich heritage and can anticipate a vibrant future. I believe we stand at the brink of wonderful opportunities and advancements. Let us - through optimism, cooperation and hard work -- forge together the framework of a dynamic and progressive city. Please feel free to email me - I look forward to hearing from you.
